ABOUT ME

Leave me in a nook with a book and I'll be happy as a clam. I believe in patience and humility, and good humor and good food. I like to cook and clean. I love to get out into nature and trek around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling to Mumbai a lot lately (once a month or something?) for work, and I'm having a tough time meeting fun people. Maybe this will help?

Interests

I'm an urban planner, which is basically more of a life choice than a career decision, so I spend a lot of time doing that. Also concerts, museums, and travel. My main interest is experience - the more the better.

Music, Movies, and Books

J.D. Salinger is illuminating, David Foster Wallace is perplexing, Kurt Vonnegut is relaxing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo hikes in the Cascade Mountains, with icy cold creeks and pitch-heavy fires and no other humans. It's lovely.

What I Can Share with Hosts
